When you try to connect your Outlook account to VE, Microsoft may require admin approval.
This simply means your organization restricts third-party app access and an IT admin needs to approve VE before you can connect.
Below is exactly what to do.
Step 1: Start the Connection
Go to VE
Click Continue with Microsoft/Outlook
Follow the prompts
You’ll be redirected to Microsoft’s sign-in page
Step 2: What the Microsoft Message Means
You may see one of these screens:
“Need admin approval”
Your organization requires admin approval for all apps.
Insert Image:
“Approval required”
Your Microsoft admin blocks user consent unless they explicitly approve the app.

These messages are normal in Microsoft 365 environments with restricted permissions.
Step 3: Contact Your IT Admin
Share the screenshot you saw and tell them you’re trying to connect VE.
Provide them with:
VE Admin Setup Guide (for enabling Outlook connections)
VE Trust Center (security, privacy, and compliance details)
Confirm that VE is a Microsoft-verified partner app.
Step 4: Reconnect After Approval
Once your admin has approved VE:
Return to VE
Click Continue with Microsoft/Outlook
Sign in normally
Your Outlook account should now be connected
